"Fantastic VK fishing

I was out fishing on Lake Vänern on Christmas day outside Åmål with my friend Mats Olsson, we tried our new VK bait holders and the VK 2 flasher on the downriggers. There was a lot of baitfish on the fish finder and we could observed a fish rise from 17-18 meters going up to the downrigger baits, probably taking a good look on the UV248 VK2 flasher and after a short while after this, less than a minute, the reel started to scream high. Fish on! Mats faught the fish and after 30 min we could take a good look at the fish in the boat. It was a big trout of 95 cm length and 10.1 kilo. It was a personal record for Mats and the fish took a VK bait holder clear UV100, line in right side centre hole. We quickly turned back and after passing the spot where the trout took our VK bait - a big fish is on again, this time I’m holding the rod. The fish was all up in the air 3-4 times and gave me a fantastic fight, almost jumping over the planer board line at one time. After a while we could bring it in the boat, nice 9,3 kilo Salmon with a length of 87 cm, perfect condition. VK bait holder named SS03 "PLO" with line on left side centre hole on the surface with 30gr lead. Then after a few hours later with no activity we were just about to stop for the day, another big fish is on. Mats are fighting the fish, after a long fight we can lift it in the boat. We could see it was a wild Salmon - we quickly took out the hooks, in order to release it back in the water. We made a quick weight of the fish still in the net - after reduction of the net holder we could determine the final weight to impressive 11.6 kilo. Before it was released we took one quick photo. This time the Salmon took VK Baitholder chrome 734, inner left hole, surface with 20 gr lead.

We are both impressed of the VK products, all the different ways to do line settings in the VK bait holders and colours will help us to catch fish. We could see on the fish finder several times when a big fish raised from bottom or elsewhere to start follow and look at the VK2 flasher on the downriggers, we a pretty sure the attractive movements of the VK2 flasher was the main reason!
Best regards
Jonas"
